This subject is designed to allow Teacher Candidates to develop skills necessary to teach a range of ‘advanced’ Visual Arts and Design disciplines in secondary classrooms. Working as a member of a team, Teacher Candidates will develop learning schemata for selected art disciplines through the design, implementation and evaluation of workshops in those disciplines, and produce teaching resources in the form of a digital portfolio, relevant to these activities.
Through active participation in these activities, Teacher Candidates will develop a repertoire of skills and acquire a wide range of potential classroom strategies, relevant to these disciplines, including how to personalise the learning experience of students in a studio classroom.Teacher Candidates will develop knowledge of and strategies to teach Visual Arts and Design VCE Study Designs.
